Leisure businesses sell experiences, and those experiences usually need big upfront investment in space, equipment, and people. Credicorp lends to UK limited companies and LLPs across leisure and entertainment — gyms, soft-play centres, escape rooms, bowling, venues, and visitor attractions — for genuine business purposes.
The leisure cash-flow pattern
Demand often clusters around weekends, holidays, and the weather. Fixed costs — rent, equipment maintenance, staff — run steadily regardless. That mismatch is a familiar pressure point for operators.
What funding helps with
- Buying or refreshing equipment and attractions
- Fitting out or expanding a venue
- Covering fixed costs through an off-peak period
- Marketing ahead of a key season
How we assess leisure operators
We look at your trading patterns across the year and how the funding fits your plan. The rate and term are confirmed in your offer and reflect your company's own profile.
The basics
The agreement is with your company, with no director personal guarantees. As an exempt business lender outside the FCA consumer-credit regime, the Financial Ombudsman Service and FSCS do not apply. We'll help you choose between Credicorp Flex and Credicorp Slice.
